Playing with Electronics & Lighting


In addition to working on the train automation software, Steve Sacarisen has gotten me into electronic circuit design. Here is the new FRED light Steve designed and I built. It uses a 9V battery and a timer circuit which are both installed inside the lower container on this Kato TTX Intermodal well car.
Now I have a great flashing FRED (Flashing Red End-of-train Device).
I have also put some EOT lights into a few of my ASTF cabooses ... such fun!

I am on board. I will reserve layout input to later time as I gain education, and experience.
